Game Invites
"I'm the host in charge of this game, Shen Lingshuang."
There was no number, no nickname, and the girl's minimalist opening remarks were a little different from everyone else in the past, but it suddenly brought Xiang Nanxing's thoughts back to those game venues that were closed on all sides. There, he once survived unexpectedly from a dead end, and also lost his rare true friends, and saw with his own eyes how desperate those gamblers can be in order to win. Finally, he thought that he could finally get away from those things, but at this moment, the shadow of the "adversity game" hung over his head again.
As if seeing his extremely unnatural expression at this time, Shen Lingshuang said, "You don't have to be too nervous. Like I said earlier, it's not a mandatory game, and it's up to you to choose whether you want to accept it or not. As a host, I would never force a reluctant player into the game. ”
What the host said is the golden rule of the game, since she said so, Xiang Nanxing can actually relax a little. However, there was another thing that Shen Lingshuang said just now that he had to care, not to mention that although she said this at this time, she still had a very expectant expression on her face, and she simply wrote the words "invite you to participate" on her forehead. "You can go on." He rubbed his temples, "I'll listen." ”
"Game Name...... Well, it's called a 'spider's nest'. ”
Shen Lingshuang's opening was stuck, but he quickly said smoothly: "The content of the game is very simple. Your character is the rescuer, and the mission is to enter this villa and rescue a trapped person. And in this game, there's also a killer character whose goal is to kill all the other players, including the rescuers, of course. So as the game progresses, you'll also have to watch out for the killer's movements. ”
She took a deep breath and stared at Xiang Nanxing's eyes with a pair of wonderful eyes: "As for the reward for winning the game...... Keep it a secret for now, but it's something that will help you for the next few days. ”
She finally sold it, but spread out her hands and signaled that she was done. Xiang Nanxing frowned tightly and fell into painful thought. I don't know if it's deliberately concealed or if that's the case, at least Shen Lingshuang's account has a lot of ambiguities in his opinion, such as how many players are involved in this game? What is the time limit of the game, how risky is it, and so on.
For example, the most fatal point is, what is the origin of that murderer? Is it a real killer, or is it a character that another player plays in this game? This is crucial to completing the game, as high-level players such as Liang Jingmo have taught him from their own experiences that even as an insider, sometimes you don't need to follow the rules of the game exactly, and trying to find a different way may lead to better results.
If the Killer is just a character played by another player, then he can negotiate with him and see if he can achieve a win-win outcome for both parties. If the trapped person is also the player's character, then he can also try to cooperate with the other person to make the level clearer and continue to support each other to explore the wilderness after the game is over. But all of this involves the question of what exactly the other players are aiming to complete the level.
The most important thing is that this "killer" is just the setting of the game, or does he really kill people!
Regarding these, Shen Lingshuang was obviously reluctant to explain more, which can be guessed from the fact that she only talked about the relevant part of "rescuer". At this time, she looked at Xiang Nanxing, her eyes flashed with a little curiosity, blinking and blinking, but her small mouth was always tightly pursed, obviously unable to reveal more.
With Xiang Nanxing's understanding of the host, those unspoken parts are often the most critical things, and people will die every minute. He doesn't have Liang Jingmo's ability, he can make something out of nothing and forcibly find a way to pry open other people's closed mouths, but fortunately, at this time he also has a sharp weapon that is enough to save his life.
"I beg your pardon for refusing." He said word for word. The eyes on the other side suddenly became a little flustered. "This ......" Shen Lingshuang showed a slight gaffe for a while, "I thought it was ......"
This panic was fleeting, and in the next second, Shen Lingshuang immediately returned to the calm and calm appearance just now.
"Ahem, in that case, that's your choice." She lowered her head and cleared her throat, then raised her hand and sent it forward, "Then you can go, and I won't follow you again." ”
tried to pretend to be chic and open-minded, but this little girl still couldn't hide the faint disappointment in her tone. At this moment, an impulse suddenly surged in Xiang Nanxing's chest, and he almost wanted to change his mind and agree. However, the fear of reality sounded the alarm bell in his mind again. He nodded deeply to Shen Lingshuang as a farewell, then picked up his suitcase and turned around to leave.
He heard a faint cry behind him, but he didn't dare to look back.
Following the opposite direction of those footprints, Xiang Nanxing walked silently. Shen Lingshuang didn't lie to him, from the moment he took a step, the strange feeling that had been pressing on his back just now had completely disappeared, but some other emotions took its place, pressing heavily on Xiang Nanxing's heart, making his steps even heavier than just now.
It's not necessary, it's not necessary at all, and the other party is not a good person nine times out of ten.
Xiang Nanxing kept persuading himself in his heart to quickly let go of all the things he had just heard, and not to fall into meaningless hesitation anymore. The presence of the host here shows that this place is more or less under the control of the prison side, and even those who will appear here are basically not ordinary people. The most likely scenario is that the other party, like him, is also a group of people released from prison. But there are still most wicked people who will go to prison, and there are still a few innocent people like themselves who are in prison after all, and they are kind enough to save people, even if they succeed, they may be a very dangerous guy who is saved.
Not to mention, this also involves another, more immediate problem, which is the piece of paper that looks like a fragment of a map. Xiang Nanxing still can't be sure whether this piece of paper is trying to force everyone in possession to snatch each other, but the other party is not necessarily. Suppose he has a fragment of the same map as his own, and he has confirmed the rules of the game from elsewhere, and is determined to collect the scrap...... In this case, I just rescued him, and I might be killed as soon as I turned my head, and I feel that the risk is not small when I think about it.
The story of the farmer and the snake, Xiang Nanxing has been listening to it since he was a child, and he is very familiar with it. Even if it was just a possibility, Xiang Nanxing didn't want to take such a risk, let alone that he had to venture into the lair of the so-called murderer before that, and play a game of rescue and escape with the kind of guy who might be a real murderer.
There's no need, there's no need to take such a big risk for a guy who isn't a good guy. Xiang Nanxing walked faster and faster, and his steps gradually became lighter. And as he continued to move forward, the jungle in front of him gradually became thin, until at a certain moment, he could barely see the edge of the jungle.
He perked up, mustered up what little strength he had left, and stumbled forward with a quickened pace. At the moment when his eyes suddenly brightened, Xiang Nanxing suddenly fell to the ground with a soft foot, his hands propped up on the edge of the soft sand, his mouth opened wide, and he was stunned as he looked at the scenery in front of him.
It was a snow-white sandy beach with sand as fine as snow, stretching from the edge of the jungle until it melted into the azure waters. In the distance, a deep blue is a whole face, and the sun is shining on it, filling it with golden yellow accents, accompanied by the white lines of the waves in the near future, which together form a beautiful picture.
Xiang Nanxing got up suddenly, walked quickly across the entire beach, and squatted down on the beach to scoop up a scoop of seawater. As he plunged his hand into the icy water, a strange sense of stability welled up in his chest, and his restless mood gradually calmed down. Soothed by the sound of the waves, the heart that had been hanging in the air since he was released from prison seemed to be about to fall back to its original position, and at this moment, Xiang Nanxing finally began to find his own pace.
He shook his hand sharply, splashing the cold sea water in his face.
In the clearing on the other side of the jungle, Shen Lingshuang squatted on the ground with his hands on his cheeks, staring blankly at the abandoned villa. Logically speaking, Xiang Nanxing's decision is completely logical, after all, the people who will appear here are not good people, and the game situation she introduced is not clear enough, under the trade-off, I am afraid that no person with a normal brain will be so overwhelmed that he is willing to take such a big risk to save people.
But for some reason, she just thought he would agree. Perhaps it was the young man's posture of struggling against the current and the eyes that never gave up hope in the video at that time that gave her the wrong feeling, which made her immerse herself in blind optimism until just now, thinking that he could really become a hero to solve the dilemma in front of her.
"Alas, the time is almost up, do you want to violate the code and take action yourself?"
Shen Lingshuang hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head consciously. Being a host means absolute power in the game, but in turn represents the fair and orderly side of the world. The original agreement was promised by her own mouth, and if she destroys it without authorization in order to save a life, the compensation will be the entire trust system accumulated by the host for a long time, which will make the situation that has been finally balanced fall into chaos again, and the harm caused is not just a few lives.
But can a human life in front of us and more lives or even greater losses be weighed and compared on both sides of the scale?
The girl looked at the entrance of the villa in a daze, and fell into deeper hesitation.
